Depth of Field

This is what a good telephoto lens can do. Notice this picture, taken at a Nat's game in DC yesterday, also follows the rule of thirds. The woman only takes up a third ofo the pictures, and the shallow depth of field which puts the bleachers and other fans out of focus pushes her to the sharp forefront of the picture.

Below, BTW, is the original version of this picture, before I cropped it a bit (keeping the proportions), lightened just her face, and saturated the colors, all with Photoshop.
